I was starting to feel a bug coming on late Saturday, but I knew that we had a full day ahead on Sunday and if I didn't make a quick midnight run I'd never get the stuff that was free or super cheap. So I went and made it just that: a quick single-transaction run! I had $10 ECBs to start and so I got most of the good deals I wanted with just that plus coupons... I may go back to get some paper goods free plus something to give me a few ECBs for next time. Just not sure how I want to spend what I have and don't want to waste them just to get it over with b/c I NOW have a full on case of "crud" and a nap looks better than shopping right now.

I was pretty happy the limit on the Bounce was 2 instead of 1; that definitely helped. On the Softsoap, I'm not sure WHAT the limit is... I'm out of those great $2 printables now b/c I used a couple last week on Irish Springs when the SAME deal was going at my stores in Knoxville even though it wasn't in the ad. The other weird thing is that my receipt for the Softsoap/Irish Springs says I still have an amount of "1" to earn toward this deal (I already have 3... 2 last week, 1 on this trip). But the shelf tags last week said "Limit 1" as does the ad this week. So I can go back and get at least 1 more? May be just what I do...

My Profile

I'm not content if I don't have at least 6+ hobbies/interests that I can hop in/out of on a regular basis. I seem to constantly be on the search for the perfect pair of brown shoes, grey trousers, and "Day" dress (though I could probably live in jeans & sneakers or better: yoga pants). I have never been able to fathom $4 per DAY coffee habits but I can completely withstand the guilt from an occasional Starbucks Frappucino or Espresso Truffle. I love a good sense of humor, some dry sarcastic wit, a kind and thankful heart, and a fair dose of altruistic optimism. Glass-half-empty has very little place in my life. I am not "cheap" (my husband and I would kill each other, LOL) but I love getting stuff for way less than other people paid, and I'm more than happy to share my sources.
